Actors are some of the most prominent people in the entertainment industry. In the 6th century Athens, Greece, the poet Thespis shocked audiences at the festival City Dionysia by reciting his poetry as if he were the characters in the poems, cementing himself as the first known actor in history. Award ceremonies such as the Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, and Golden Globes recognize achievement in acting.
